The last time I saw Dot, Gert and Walter and the rest of the Claffey relatives was at Margies wedding. My mother was Dot Tansey Erdmann, Margies roommate at Beth Israel. Dot and my mother were born the same year so Margie used to say it was like sharing a room with her sister Dot. I was always fond of going to see their Mom in Union. Was it Long Terrace? I can remember being there in the kitchen and lots of laughter. I always thought, and still do think of your family fondly. I'd lost touch, unfortunately after Jack died.Please accept my condolences.Godspeed Dot. Linda
